Transfer Mission Plan and KML Files with Herelink

PreviousAMC - PlanNextTerrain Follow

Last updated 9 months ago

Options for importing/exporting plans

  • Mission import/export: AMC’s .plan files can be imported and exported. This is useful for creating missions on a computer, then importing all of them to Herelink at the same time

  • KML import: KML files can be imported to AMC. This is useful for creating mission shape definitions in some software, then importing all of them to Herelink at the same time.

    Important Note on importing:

    • Zoom in to maximum level, then create a random survey shape. If you don’t zoom in, survey shape could be very large and could crash AMC

    • Then click “import KML” on the right toolbar

    • Survey shape will automatically change to the data defined in the KML import

  • KML export: This is useful for exporting waypoints outside AMC. You won’t be able to import them back as KML, since these are waypoints, and not a shape definition.

Procedures for transferring files to/from Herelink

Method 1: Micro USB port

This method may not work as expected on Mac. We recommend using Method 2 on Apple computers.

1) Connect the Herelink via the Micro USB port to a computer.

2) Turn on the Herelink.

3) Drag down from the top to open the drop-down menu. Select “USB Charging this device”.

4) Select “Transfer files”.

5) The Herelink will appear on your computer as a device named “Optimus”.

6) Upload flight plans into the following folder: Optimus > Internal shared storage > Documents > Auterion Mission Control > Missions

If you aren't seeing the files you're expecting on the Herelink or computer, restart the Herelink.

Method 2: Micro SD card (supports maximum 64GB)

1) Upload flight plans onto the MicroSD card.

2) Insert Micro SD card into the Herelink’s Micro SD Card slot.

3) Drag down from the top to open the drop-down menu and select the Micro SD card device.

4) Select the desired flight plan and select “Copy to…” or “Move to…”

5) Select Optimus > Documents > Auterion Mission Control > Missions.

6) Select “Copy” or “Move” to complete transferring.
